I can't wait to perform this for everyone. And it's perfect for when someone says, "Oh, you're a
magician? Do a trick for me."
It is totally impromptu, no prep needed, can be done with a
regular calculator if anyone still has one of those. And no, you don't ever need to touch the phone,
before, during, or after.
About the ad copy: The video says, "...you want to read people's
minds," but Rick's presentation comes off much more as a cold reading (with a little muscle reading
thrown in, too). You do not need to be skilled in either of these things to perform this, though!
The method is so much simpler than that. Rick's presentation has been very carefully thought-out,
and Rick explains the thinking behind his ideas.
Besides, if a cold reading presentation
is not your style (as is true with me), you will have no difficulty shaping this method to your own
needs. Rick does indeed provide a few other good ideas on presentation, and his ideas have spurred
my own presentation thoughts. In short, I'm inspired and delighted with this.
Only one
minor criticism, difficult to explain without tipping the method. Let's just say that what they see
on their calculator isn't quite exactly what you offer up. But I feel the presentation details very
much takes care of this. The presentation cleverly offers up some verbal misdirection, too. Again,
you can easily shape this to fit your own presentation.
Some things you might like to know:
1) Do you have to do any math? Any calculations? No, none at all.
2) Any memorization? Only
if you think remembering how to do a routine is memorization. Rick's teaching gives you a super
simple way to remember the method. Watch this once and you'll have it down forever.
3) You won't
be wanting to repeat this to the same group. Street performance, table hopping are fine, so long as
your previous audience isn't nearby.
(Full disclosure: I've been advanced a free copy of
the video.)
Can't wait to perform this!
